Summary
The Doshin Fireworks Festival opens the Hakodate Port Festival on August 1, 2026, firing from Hakodate Port at Midorino-jima for 75 minutes from 7:45 pm. A five-part program (planned) of wide starmine and underwater fireworks plays out against the harbor's night skyline; the 71st edition marks the port's 167th anniversary.
Overview
The 71st Doshin Fireworks Festival, staged as the opening event of the Hakodate Port Festival and marking the port's 167th anniversary, launches from Hakodate Port on August 1, 2026. The 75-minute display from 7:45 pm runs in five planned parts, with wide starmine and underwater fireworks spreading over the harbor lights — from the waterfront, sea reflections and the city's night view share one frame. Midorino-jima, the venue, sits five minutes on foot from JR Hakodate Station; with no parking around, the train is the way in. From the following day, the festival's 'Wasshoi Hakodate' dance parade — featuring Hakodate Port Odori and Ika Odori — carries the celebration through the streets.
